Exactly….we were “safe” with 5 games to go last season.
I think some have forgotten that, on March 18th, our game was postponed at Rotherham with us winning. Had we gone on to win, we'd have been 6 points clear of the bottom 3 and safe earlier in the campaign.
So bad they've resorted to karaoke for the second half.
McBurnie substituted
Apparently he told his team mates they were still in it as he can’t count past 4
Just 81% possession and 20 shots for Arsenal so far.
Interesting that Arsenal’s goal difference is better than both Liverpool’s & Man City’s. Could be crucial.
Last season's championship was very poor, we would have struggled to be mid-table in L1, luckily there were even worse-run clubs than us.
I'd love to see Arsenal break the monopoly of those two, unlikely to happen though unfortunately
+6 better than Liverpool but Liverpool still have Sheffield United to play at Anfield so could easily wipe out that +6 in one game the way Sheffield United are playing.
They would have been better off asking the Premier League and EFL last May to let them stay in the championship for the 23/24 season. Give them some sort of monetary award for winning promotion and in lieu of future parachuite payments because they have been an embarrasment to themselves and the league.
Minus 50 goal difference after 27 games. Whats the point. Im shocked they have managed to get 13 points.
If I remember correctly, our worst defeat first time round was 4-0 to Sunderland of all teams.
As for last time, losing 5-0 to Man City was our worst result, then 5-1 to Utd and a couple of 4-1 defeats.
Sheffield Utd are on another level entirely. Losing 8-0, 6-0 and 5-0 on 4 separate occasions with nearly 1/3rd of the season left to go.
The three teams that came down in the Championship are still much better than the three teams that went up.
Who do they think they are - us at Preston?
Feel a bit sorry for them to be honest. They have been a complete embarrassment, but I do admire that they haven't gone the Forest (or even Burnley) routes of spending a shed load of money to be pretty much in the same position.
Football feels like it's become more distorted even in the five years since we were last in the top flight, and personally I'd have preferred the 'big clubs' had all disappeared into the european glory hunters league, which could have allowed for a reform of the domestic league model creating a fairer system for all. It'll never happen as long as the rich boys club are present.
No team outside of that group of super rich teams will sustain a period amongst them. Leicester got themselves relegated, and whilst I hope Villa deny one of them a spot in the top 4, it won't last and they'll be back down amongst it.
They were walking out after ten minutes, I bet they wish they hadn't gone up.
100%, I'd personally never turn down an opportunity to see Cardiff in the top flight but it's very rarely worth the actual prize of being there.
The match last night reinforced my belief that any talk of us getting into the playoffs and eventual promotion would be utterly ridiculous.
Since the start of the year Sheffield United are the joint 4th top scorers
At Sheffield United's ground!!
Good point.
Does anyone still want Craig Bellamy in as manager?
I would..
I do.
Burnley have bought some quality young players though who will either get them straight back up or be sold on for close to what they paid for them.
I’m surprised they have been so poor and Kompany isn’t ready for this level but they will be in a far better position than Sheffield United moving forward IMO.
